Wedoany.com Report on Jan 31st, Recently, the Toksun Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project achieved a critical milestone with the completion of thermal insulation construction for its core energy storage equipment—the high and low-temperature molten salt tanks. This work lays the foundation for the project's subsequent system commissioning and grid connection for power generation.

In CSP systems, molten salt tanks serve as thermal storage units, and their insulation performance directly impacts the plant's heat storage efficiency and operational stability. The molten salt tanks in this project operate across a wide temperature range, placing higher demands on the performance of insulation materials and construction techniques. Additionally, the complex structure of the tanks increased the construction difficulty.

During the construction process, the project team formulated corresponding construction plans to address the complex environment and technical requirements. The team employed techniques such as layered compaction and focused on controlling the thickness and airtightness of the insulation layer to minimize heat loss. Throughout the construction period, the team established a quality control process from technical briefing to final acceptance, with particular emphasis on managing key construction milestones.

The completion of the thermal insulation for the high and low-temperature molten salt tanks creates the conditions for the subsequent joint commissioning of the project's solar collection system and power generation system. CSP projects, leveraging their thermal storage capabilities, enable the continuous utilization of solar energy, contributing to the stable operation of the power grid.

The project team stated that they will continue to advance the subsequent commissioning and finishing work.
